List of the movies referenced in Gilmore Girls. Work in progress because I'm adding them as I watch them. They will be in order of when they are referenced. (Watched 8 others that are referenced later so will be added later so they are in the correct order.) Currently on movies referenced in 3x19.

Full reviews of each movie and how they are referenced can be found here: http://gilmoremovies.tumblr.com

Everything to do with history, from documentaries to historical fiction with a strong historical presence and travel series. See my Period Films and Shows list for similar but less historically based fictional content. See my History Documentaries list for serious documentaries/educational content only.

A selection of legal dramas and thrillers I have seen over the years. I left out most of the generic lawyer/crime dramas.

Movies on this list mostly play in the court room, deal with a law suit, a trial, or have a legal principle or legal negotiations as their main plot.
